Santi Giovanni e Reparata

The church features three naves supported by columns with composite capitals, incorporating a central apse and transept within its Romanesque architecture.

The religious site originated in the 5th century on Roman settlement grounds, later transformed into a cemetery before returning to religious functions in the 8th century.

The church contains a Roman sarcophagus from the second century AD decorated with Dionysian procession scenes, later repurposed for medieval liturgical purposes.

Visitors can explore the church, baptistery, bell tower, archaeological excavations, and Lucca Cathedral with a single entrance ticket throughout the year.

Metal walkways guide visitors through archaeological layers beneath the church, revealing Roman mosaics, thermal baths, and Lombard burial structures.
